Ingredients

1 package (19-1/2 ounces) Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1-1/2 cups cut fresh green beans (1-inch pieces)
1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 large sweet red or green pepper, chopped
8 green onions, chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/3 cup minced fresh basil

Directions

Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker; adjust for medium heat. Cook sausage until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Return to pressure cooker. Press cancel.
Add tomatoes, beans, carrots, green beans, zucchini, pepper and green onions. In a large bowl, whisk stock, tomato paste and seasoned salt; pour over vegetables.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. Just before serving, stir in basil.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little stock if necessary.
